The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government.
Read our disclaimer for details.

Tissue hypoxia occurs frequently during high-risk surgery in high-risk patients. The investigators want to see if an algorithm aimed at optimizing intraoperative tissue oxygenation reduces perioperative complications as well as length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU LOS), 28-day mortality, and the duration of mechanical ventilation in these patients.

The data from the InSPectra Monitor in the Control group will be inaccessible for the Investigator since this is not a part of their daily medical practice

Active Comparator: Treatment group,

The data given by the monitor will be available for the Investigator and used to apply the optimization protocol

Device: connected to the InSpectra Monitor
